to sag under their own weight. Supports must be 

placed under the panel on both sides, near the line 

of cut and near the edge of the panel. 
e) 

Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce 

narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade 

binding and kickback. 
f) 

Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking 

levers must be tight and secure before making 

the cut.

 If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it 

may cause binding and kickback. 
g) 

Use extra caution when sawing into existing 

walls or other blind areas.

 The protruding blade 

may cut objects that can cause kickback. 

4.3 Lower guard function

a) 

Check the lower guard for proper closing 

before each use. Do not operate the saw if the 

lower guard does not move freely and close 

instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard 

into the open position. 

If the saw is accidentally 

dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the 

lower guard with the retracting handle (24) and 

make sure it moves freely and does not touch the 

blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of 

cut.
b) 

Check the operation of the lower guard 

spring. If the guard and the spring are not 

operating properly, they must be serviced 

before use. 

Lower guard may operate sluggishly 

due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-

up of debris. 
c) 

The lower guard may be retracted manually 

only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and 

"compound cuts".Raise the lower guard by the 

retracting handle (24) and as soon as the blade 

enters the material, the lower guard must be 

released.

 For all other sawing, the lower guard 

should operate automatically.
d) 

Always observe that the lower guard is 

covering the blade before placing the saw 

down on bench or floor.

 An unprotected, coasting 

blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting 

whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes 

for the blade to stop after switch is released. 

4.4 Additional Safety Instructions

Do not use sanding discs.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any 

adjustments or servicing are performed.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove 

chips and similar material only when the machine is 

at a standstill.

Wear a suitable dust protection mask.

Wear ear protectors.

Wear protective goggles.

Press the spindle locking button only when the 

motor is at a standstill.
Do not reduce the speed of the saw blade by 

pressing on the sides.
The movable guard must not be clamped in the 

pulled-back position for sawing.
The movable guard must move freely, 

automatically, easily and exactly back into its end 

position.
When sawing materials that generate large 

quantities of dust, the machine must be cleaned 

regularly. Make sure that the safety appliances, e.g. 

the movable guard, are in perfect working order.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may 

be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be 

processed.
Check the workpiece for foreign bodies. When 

working, always make sure that no nails or other 

similar materials are being sawed into.
If the saw blade blocks, turn the motor off 

immediately.
Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.
During machining, the workpiece must be firmly 

supported and secured against moving.
Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material 

being sawn.

Clean gummy or glue-contaminated saw 

blades.

 Contaminated saw blades cause 

increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and 

increase the risk of back-kicks.

Avoid overheating of the saw tooth tips. Avoid 

melting of the material when sawing plastic.

Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material 

being sawn.

Reducing dust exposure:

WARNING

 - Some dust created by power 

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other 

construction activities contains chemicals known to 

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive 

harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

- Lead from lead-based paints,

- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and 

other masonry products, and

- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated 

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending 

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce 

your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-

ventilated area, and work with approved safety 

equipment, such as those dust masks that are 

specially designed to filter out microscopic 

particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such 

as some timber types (like oak or beech dust), 

metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. 

allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let 

dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national 

regulations for your material, staff, application and 

place of application (e.g. occupational health and 

safety regulations, disposal).
